Upshur
6.2
High score (8-10)
Upshur County in East Texas has 40,000 people. Gilmer is the county seat — the East Texas Yamboree (yam festival, held since 1935) is here. The Yamboree draws regional visitors in October. A foreign man who shows up for the festival finds a genuine community event where outsiders are at least present.
Mid score (6-8) · Your profile
Oil, timber, and agriculture. East Texas conservative. Gilmer has some character as a small East Texas city.
Lower score (below 6)
East Texas insular social structure. The Yamboree brings visitors for a weekend, not a social scene. A foreign man without local ties has very limited access year-round.
